I'm installing the opensuse 12.3 RC and I noticed an issue before the installation finished, and after reviewed several times I realized the error (laptop freeze completely) occurred when starting LSB. /var/log/messages not shown relevant info boot.log said Failed to start Network Manager, and of course I do no have network devices. When a launch yast and go to Network Devices, the error occurred again detecting devices... systemctl status NetworkManager.service said Active: failed status = 1/FAILURE
aiui, NetworkManager wants to control your networking and visibly complains when it is not in control, but if not using NetworkManager the comalaint is not harmful and rather meaningless.
I have never been able to get NetworkManager to work on openSUSE on any device and have satisfied myself using ifup/ifdown/... Watching the boot messages, I always see notice that NetworkManager has failed but I have no networking problems even with wifi.
It looks like "NetworkManager" is more like "NetworkFail". Still, and AGAIN (see prior releases).
For Goldmaster: would it be possible to EXclude the "NetworkManager" from the 'Minimal' Pattern? (and from the fast-install-images?)
Anybody who realy WANTS to use NetworkManager, can select the package, but even in my wildest installation, I could get the network working without using "NetworkManager", both, reliable, and easy to use.
If I want to use NetworkManager, I use other distros, e.g. Ubuntu.
To those also using / testing Fedora, does NetworkManager work in F18?
Yamaban, who re-reads the network-hassle from RC1 on this list, and sees no betterment. Now, I removed NetworkManager but I can't get gnome-shell work. At least, now I have network! I want gnome-shell working, what should you recommend?
